HAIRSPRAY will delight you by sweeping you away to 1960s Baltimore, where the '50s are out -- and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair? Come see the show and find out!

Please note: This production is a fundraiser for the Roosevelt HS Theatre Department. Thank you for supporting educational theatre at RHS!
